" Beyerdynamic's dtx100 is their top of the line dynamic driver iem. It has a bass driven sound very similar to the 60/80 which is a signature I like. Bass heads may be left wanting as will detail freaks but they are fun with a punchy attack and very user friendly.

"Beyerdynamic's dtx60 is a dynamic driver iem sitting below the dtx80/100 in the range. It has a bass focussed sound which may be fine for some people but I don't enjoy massive bass when there is little definition which is what this earphone is lacking in that department.

The availability and performance of satellite-based navigation systems are the weakest in urban areas and indoor spaces, where the user density would be high. In these environments alternative low-cost positioning techniques are needed. This thesis considers positioning using received signal strength (RSS) measurements of terrestrial wireless networks.
No prior knowledge of the considered wireless networks is assumed in this thesis, but only a simplified statistical path loss model for signal propagation. The model parameters are estimated for each base station of the network separately using pre-collected learning data. The method is based on Bayesian estimation theory that characterizes the precision of the parameter estimates, which is an essential feature. Three Bayesian position estimation methods are proposed in this thesis. Two versions of each are compared: one uses point estimates for the model parameters and assumes them to be accurate, whereas the other takes the finite parameter precisions into account.
Real-data tests are accomplished using cellular networks in outdoor and wireless local area networks (WLAN) in indoor spaces. The tests indicate that taking the finite parameter precisions into account improves positioning accuracy and especially makes error estimation more realistic. Furthermore, RSS-based methods outperform the method that uses only the list of observed base stations and no RSS information. The advantages of parametric methods compared with the k-nearest neighbour method, which can be regarded as the state-of-the-art positioning method, are also shown.

This week we look at another RISC powered notebook, this time from IBM. Although IBM did produce a line of PowerPC based Thinkpad systems, this blog is focused on a little known system called the IBM Workpad z50. This Microsoft Handheld PC form factor system was launched in March 1999 and ran Windows CE at the time. As we'll see below, with some ingenuity it is also able to run NetBSD, which makes it a much more interesting proposition (at least for me). Ironically, although this is a High-Performance Computing focused blog (HPC), the "HPC" in this case stands for "Handheld PC".
The Workpad z50 has a form factor smaller than a notebook, but has what I consider to be an excellent keyboard, and of course the trademark Thinkpad trackpoint! Looking more closely at the specifications:
- NEC VR4121 MIPS R4100 CPU @ 131 MHz
- 16 MB System RAM (expandable)
- 16 MB System ROM
- 8.4" LCD Display 640x480 (16-bit)
- External Monitor connector (SVGA)
- Serial port
- Infrared port
- CF slot
- PCMCIA slot
What prevents me from taking my pristine Workpad z50 to the local electronics recycling facility is NetBSD. With a little effort it is possible to install recent versions of NetBSD on the Workpad z50 and even have XWindows running. There are a number of sources of information on this topic including some videos on YouTube:
I won't run through the install procedure here as that's been well covered already. Rather, let's look at the boot-up sequence and of course in keeping with the High-Performance Computing theme, run a simple benchmark. Links to the videos follow below:
- IBM Workpad z50 running NetBSD 5.2.2: System bootup
- IBM Workpad z50 running NetBSD 5.2.2: Startup XWindows, run linpackd
Using NetBSD pkgsrc, I have setup NetBSD on a x86 based system and have taken advantage of distcc to cross compile binaries. This helps greatly to get packages quickly compiled for the system.
Equipped with PCMCIA, I'm able to easily add to the Workpad z50 such capabilities as Ethernet, Wireless networking and even SCSI.
Next steps? I'll be looking to move to NetBSD 6.x series and compile a more compact kernel (with drivers removed that I don't required). Unlike the system in my previous blog, this one is silent.

The Glitter Band
The Glitter Band are a glam rock band from England, who initially worked as Gary Glitter's backing band under that name from 1973, when they then began releasing records of their own. They were unofficially known as the Glittermen on the first four hit singles by Gary Glitter from 1972 to 1973. The Glitter Band had seven UK Top 20 hit singles in the mid-1970s, and three hit albums. They have existed on and off since with various line-ups and there are currently two bands featuring original members who use the name.
Sorry, there are no shows on sale for The Glitter Band right now.

Developing a major new aircraft type is always risky. For Bombardier, however, the CSeries carries more than a whiff of a high-stakes roll of the dice.
Simply, its CRJ range is losing ground in the regional jets market, so it may take CSeries success to keep Bombardier in the large aircraft business. But the project's huge ambition raises the stakes even higher.
The cost is massive - out of a $2.6 billion budget Bombardier is directly taking on $1 billion, which is huge compared with its aerospace turnover of $10 billion.
Then, the CSeries is not another regional jet. It's a small airliner that competes squarely with the smaller Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 models.
Is Bombardier mad? The narrowbody market is served nicely by the A320 and 737, and their replacements will enjoy budgets that dwarf Bombardier's to promise genuine next-generation narrowbodies with fuel economy gains far beyond what's offered by CSeries and its Pratt & Whitney GTF geared turbofan engine.
Except it may turn out that new technology will not in practical reality let even the big two airframers significantly better the CSeries for the foreseeable future, and for urgent fleet upgrades the choice will soon be between tomorrow's CSeries and today's 737s or A320s.
The CSeries could yet break Bombardier. But it just might propel it into the big three.

November-December 2000
By Cathleen Ann Steg
Illustrations by Marvin Friedman
Along with simple materials, rules, and setup, games like Sock on a Rope include lots of boy appeal, which means plenty of action. |
After nearly a decade of leadership in a large suburban pack, a Cubmaster prepares to move on to Boy Scouts. To help his successor, he hands over a file box containing notes on how to run a pinewood derby, organize a blue and gold banquet, and divide territory for the annual Scouting for Food campaign. Then, with a smile, he carefully adds his most valued pack possession: an old stuffed sock on a rope.
Veteran Cubmasters know how to have fun in low-stress ways that require little preparation or money. And the Sock on a Rope game, a favorite with our former Cubmaster, Skye Schell of Pack 1533, Fairfax, Va., is a perfect example.
Stuff one old sock into another one, then tie the sock to one end of a 12-foot rope (clothesline or thicker). The Cub Scouts form a circle around the leader, then try to jump over the sock and rope as the leader swings it around at an ankle-to-shin level, slowly at first, then faster. The last boy touched by the sock or rope wins. (It's even more fun when parents take a turn.)
Packs across the country have found that the best games for Cub Scouts are often those that are the least complicated, use inexpensive materials, have rules that take less than a minute to explain, and require minimal setup.
"Marbles are my favorite," says veteran Cubmaster Dwight Havens of Pack 428 in Arizona's Grand Canyon Council. "They're so easy to play as a gathering activity game. Every kid can participate, and it keeps them busy at one end of the auditorium while we set up at the other end." (The basic rules for marbles, plus terminology and additional resources, are available in Cub Scout Academics and Sports Program Guide, BSA Supply No. 34299.)
The recycling bin is another useful resource: Give those old newspapers a new look, in paper hat and paper airplane competitions, newspaper palm tree and ladder design. (Check out the Cub Scout Leader How-To Book, Supply No. 33832, for these ideas.) Or try indoor cross-country skiing. Just rip the newspaper into 8-by-12-inch strips and have the boys "ski" across the floor (school cafeteria floors make ideal skiing surfaces) in den competitions. Boys' feet must stay connected to the "skis" as they scoot along; any boy losing a ski needs to start over.
Of course, there's more to a great game than simplicity; the best choices have lots of boy appeal, and that means plenty of exhilarating activity.
"Beat the Bear was a favorite [game] with our pack," remembered Eagle Scout Malcolm Johnson at a recent Order of the Arrow lodge fellowship weekend. Johnson, a high school junior and Amangamek-Wipit Lodge vice chief in the National Capital Area Council, described his former pack's game as a sort of "Duck, Duck, Goose" with a loosely rolled-up newspaper for swatting the 'bear' on the backside.
The appeal to kids is obvious, said Johnsonthey get to swat someone. And adults like it, of course, because the boys won't hurt each other with a newspaper.
Bombardment is another popular game for helping young boys have fun while working off excess energy. Tom Lawrence, in his fifth year as Cubmaster of Pack 119, Asbury, N.J., marvels at the fact that "month in and month out, the Cub Scouts love it. We use large sponge balls that don't hurt the kids at all, lay some yellow tape on the floor, split the kids up into two groups, and let the games begin." (The rules for Bombardment are found inyou guessed itthe Cub Scout Leader How-To Book.)
One common ingredient for all popular pack games is involvement. The ideal game should include everyone, with nobody left out to invent alternative activities in the back of the meeting room. If the boys need to play in shifts, make sure the game is as much fun to watch as it is to play.
Past Cubmaster Jerry Franks of Olathe, Kan., understands all about large group management: His Pack 3288 had more than 130 Cub Scouts.
"We made sure all the dens were represented in our games," he says. "That way, all the boys had someone to cheer for during the action."
One reason the Sock on a Rope game had such appeal for our pack was that it kept the attention of all boys, even after they had been eliminated. Much like spectators watching the progress of a tightrope walker, they just had to see how the Cub Scouts who remained would continue to fare in evading the spinning sock.
Bombardment is great for helping boys work off excess energy. Find it and other games in the Cub Scout Leader How-To Book. |
To ensure that every boy has fun, you must remember that every boy is different. If your featured game one month is physically rigorous, appealing to the best jumpers and runners, consider a game for quick thinkers for the following month.
Another of Cubmaster Schell's favorites with our pack was Memory Game, a variation of the classic Kim's Game, a testing of visual recall.
Den leaders bring objects from home that relate to the month's theme and spread them on a table in front of the seated Cub Scouts. A boy from the first den comes to the table, picks up and names an object, then puts it down. In order, the boys from the other dens follow, each holding up and naming a different object. However, each boy must also pick up and name each previously selected object, in the correct order. The winner is the boy who can name all the objects in orderquite a memory feat.
"The game helped the boys improve their powers of concentration, kept the noise level down, and, best of all, reinforced something important from our theme," said Schell. "If we were talking about camping skills in advance of the parent-son weekend, the objects could all be things a boy should remember to put in his pack: extra socks, mosquito repellent, flashlights, and canteen. And the suspense really grew as the list of objects to remember expanded to 25 or 30."
These ideas sound like fun, you may say, but your pack is just too large and unwieldy for them.
Such concerns about keeping order in a crowd of 100 Cub Scouts and their families can cause some Cubmasters to opt instead for a monthly meeting filled exclusively with skits, songs, and awards. But after a decade of gleefully hurling sponge balls and hopping over whirling socks with the rest of my pack, I'm convinced there is a place for everything, especially games, no matter how big the pack.
Even if you only offer a 10-minute game, and follow it with a calming song ("John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" works well to quiet the boys down after a lively game), you've given the Cub Scouts some fun to remember.
And, in an age of high-priced toys and glitzy electronic entertainment, Cubmasters can remind families of the great times they can have without spending a dime.
That's a pretty good deal.
Scouting magazine contributing editor and veteran Scout leader Cathleen Ann Steg lives in Fairfax, Va. Her article "Making Good Boys Better," in the January-February 1998 issue, described successful ways to maintain den discipline.
Choose WiselyNot every game is right for the meeting, though. It's a good practice to discuss a new game with your pack committee before using it at a pack meeting. Make sure your games fit the goals of the Cub Scout program:
Want Ideas for Games? Hit the BooksNew Cub Scout leaders sometimes wonder how more experienced leaders come up with so many wacky, great games for boys. It's easyhit the books. The following are a few good ones:
Remember RoundtableThe monthly district Cub Scout roundtable gives leaders a chance to pretest the ideas suggested in Cub Scout Program Helps or learn new games that can include boys and adults. One of Pack 1533's favorite competitive events, Make a Turkey, was first learned at roundtable. At a November pack meeting, each den transforms an adult into a "turkey." Bring such supplies as a large black plastic garbage bag, construction paper, a paper bag for the head, and plenty of tape to put it all together. No advance design work is allowed; when the Cubmaster says "Go!" each den begins building their turkey. After 15 minutes, the creations are finished and the adult "turkeys" come to the front of the room to gobble for the crowd. The frantic pace during the turkey-making period allows for great fun, while the boys and parents work to rip colored paper into appropriate feathers, gobbler, and feet and tape them onto the plastic bag (the turkey's body). A similar contest for an October meeting is Make a Mummy. Each den wraps a willing adult or den chief in toilet paper, then sends the "mummies" up front to dance to the "Monster Mash." Everyone in the room gets involved. C.A.S. |

ABSTRACT

This study is concerned with the process of the making of a postcolonial poet persona where the poet is addressing multiple audiences and is trying to speak for, and speak to, multiple constituencies through poetry. The poets examined here, Rabindranath Tagore, Derek Walcott, and Mahmoud Darwish--arguably among the best-known poets of the modern world--sought to be heard by various sensibilities and succeeded in reaching them. Outside the fold of the Western Metropolitan world, they as a trio have much to teach us about how poets living under three different phases of colonial hegemony (colonial India, postcolonial West Indies, and neocolonial Palestine/Israel) manage to speak. Their presence in their poetry, or the pressure their life stories and their poet personae, becomes an essential part of reading their work. Desiring to speak themselves, the poets chosen here have necessarily had to speak for their regions, peoples and cultures, alternately celebrating and resisting the burden of representation, imposed on them by both their own people and by the outsiders who receive them. How does a postcolonial poet address changing contingencies--personal, social and political-- while continuing to hold the attention of a global readership? How have their formal and esthetic approaches shifted as they responded to contingencies and as they attempted intervene in local and global conversations regarding the fate and future of their societies? An examination of the genre of poetry and postcolonial agency, this study addresses these and other related questions as it looks at the emergence and evolution of Tagore, Walcott, and Darwish as postcolonial world poets.

Releasing the next module from the German Bible Society: the popular Greek New Testament known as UBS4 is now available together with its own critical apparatus.
While the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece is designed for scholarly research, the Greek New Testament, 4th Revised Edition is designed for translators and students.
Like NA27, this is the leading edition of the original text of the New Testament. It contains the same Greek text as NA27, differing only in some details of punctuation and paragraphing. The Accordance version is fully tagged morphologically allowing for grammatical and lemma searches.
The critical apparatus includes exegetically significant variants (fewer than NA27) but adds extensive manuscript evidence (more than NA27) for each variant, thereby offering in-depth instruction for students on how variants and the evidence for them work together.
The UBS4-T with apparatus is available for Easy Install on Mac and iOS for $89.99, but since the text and tagging are virtually identical to the GNT-T and NA27, the UBS4-T with apparatus can be added to either of those texts for only $39.99.

It definitely is available for Easy Install. The web programmers may be working right now on that section of the cart coding, so just go ahead with your order as best you can.

When I tried the only available option was to install from a CD I already owned (which I don't). So there will be no problem if I choose that option and finish the order?
Posted 18 May 2012 - 10:21 PM
There would be no problem at all. We are working to improve the choices offered in the cart, but it's very complicated to get it right all the time.

This is great, very excited.
Is there a further discount if you have both GNT-T and NA27-T? (I think I got a further discount when I bought NA27-T because I had both GNT-T and NA27-GBS.)

No, in this case there is no further discount. (With NA27-T you already had both the apparatus and the tagged text, this is a new apparatus to Accordance.)

Similar to plotting a circle, only plots an arc based on its centre, radius and angle span.

It's nothing groundbreaking but I use this all the time and thought I should share it with other knowledge seekers. The function is very helpful if you're into plotting mechanisms and various angles within one axes.
Draw A Circle. inspired this file.
It's useful, but it can only plot arcs < 180°, in other words span=[a,b] gives the same arc as span=[b,a]. If you don't want that, add e.g. if span(2)<span(1) span(2) = span(2) + 2*pi; end before theta = ...
Worked well for me. Thank you!

KANSAS CITY — Kansas City police say a woman has been taken into custody after a man in his 70s was found dead at a home the two are believed to have shared.
Police spokesman Steve Young says officers were sent to a home in the 4300 block of Norton Avenue at 1 p.m. Wednesday. They found a man dead at the scene and took a woman in her 70s into custody.
Young says the woman was transported to a hospital for evaluation. The two are believed to have lived at the residence, and police aren't looking for any other suspects in the man's death.

Getting excited for the World Cup, Shakira released her new music video for "La La La (Brazil 2014) on Thursday (May 22).
Clad in a few sexy getups, the 37-year-old performer belts out her tune, which is an official song off of the upcoming tournament's soundtrack.
Adding to the night's star power, Shakira took over the 2014 Billboard Music Awards stage on Sunday (May 18).
The "Hips Don't Lie" beauty ditched her blue gown for a revealing gold getup as she performed her hit "Empire" inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Adding to the singing competition's long list of changes, Shakira announced that she is stepping away from "The Voice."
After CeeLo Green revealed he is finished with the NBC series and Christina Aguilera stated Gwen Stefani is her replacement, the "Hips Don't Lie" beauty is ready to move on too.
Continuing her tradition of sexy fun hits, Shakira just unveiled the video for her catchy single "Dare (La La La)" for all to enjoy.
The Columbia songbird dons a strappy black ensemble as she shakes her hips and suggestively mouths the words to her ditty.
Kicking off a new yearly tradition, the first annual iHeartRadio Music Awards took over the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles with plenty of star power last night (May 1).
Airing over 150 iHeartRadio stations in the USA, the shindig saw Rihanna take home several trophies including Artist of the Year and Hip Hop/R&B Song of the Year.
Taking care of a media obligation, Shakira stopped by the "Elvis Duran Z100 Morning Show" on Wednesday (April 30) in Los Angeles.
Glam in a body hugging all-black ensemble, including a matching hat, the Columbian cutie posed for some photos before getting down to business.
Despite previous comments about her relationship with partner Gerard Pique, Shakira assured fans that she's on equal grounds with her mate during an interview in Ocean Drive's latest issue.
While striking a sultry pose, the "Hips Don't Lie" beauty dished about her boyfriend and the importance of being equals in the mag's "Women of Influence" issue.
She had a blast at the 2014 ACM Awards on Sunday night, and earlier today (April 7) Shakira turned up in London, England.
The "Hips Don't Lie" lady was in good spirits as she greeted fans and shutterbugs, sporting a black jacket with jeans and black boots as she made her way through Heathrow International Airport.

Yankees the most hated team in the world?
UPDATED 11:25 AM PDT Aug 05, 2014Several Redditors made graphs about which Major League Baseball Teams are the most hated in the world. Not surprisingly, the New York Yankees get plenty of hate. With other contenders like the St. Louis Cardinals, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox, will the Yankees stay on top? Patrick Jones (@Patrick_E_Jones) explains.

Reviews > Footwear > Boots > Keen Oregon PCT > Test Report by Tim Tessier
Backpacking Background: I hiked as a child with my father and started hiking with my now 17 year old son 9 years ago. We now routinely take 20 mile weekend hikes (2 nights) approximately once a month year round. Additionally, we take one, 5 - 7 day extended trip each summer. Most of our hiking is done in NC, southern VA, TN, KY, and WV. We go regardless of weather so we have experience in all types of conditions. We do not tend to travel very light, with a typical pack weight of 25 lb (11.3 kg) exclusive of food.
Manufacturer: Keen INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
The boots came packed in a plain green and brown boot box. There were absolutely no tags, promotional materials, registration materials, or anything else in the box. The boots are pre-laced in the package. When I took them out I took a long moment to look them over. The stitching seems to be perfect and the boots are quite attractive in a very rugged way. TRYING IT OUT
I have worn the boots twice so far, both times to visit colleges with my son. These visits included a college tour which means a mile or two of walking on sidewalks. The boots required virtually no "break-in" and were comfortable for me right out of the box. TESTING STRATEGY
I will be using these boots extensively through the fall and winter months in our regular weekend hikes. The first extensive use with a load will be November 1 - 4 in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where we are planning a 50 mile (81 km) hike. We will be constantly moving either uphill or down and will have at least 3 known stream crossings so the boots will get a thorough workout. SUMMARY
These are classic mid-weight hikers with some interesting engineering features. They appear to be extremely well thought-out and, at least initially, are quite comfortable to wear. Field Report - January 11, 2009
I have continued to wear these boots in the fall around town, working in the yard etc. Additionally, I used them on one extended backpacking trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in November. This trip covered approximately 50 miles (81 km), in 4 days, constantly either uphill or down. We were on the east side of the park where the terrain is roughly defined by stream drainages, separated by high ridges. These streams run roughly north/south, and the trail we followed runs roughly east/west. This meant that we would descend to a stream crossing, climb to a ridgeline, cross the ridge and descend again to the next stream crossing. The elevation change between the ridgeline and the streams was approximately 3,000 ft. (914 m) so we were constantly either climbing or hiking downhill, sometimes rather steeply. Summary
The Keen Oregon PCT is an excellent product. It is grippy, comfortable, and handled a big load with no problem. The boots offer excellent protection against twisting, excellent traction, and handled a bid load with a minimum of problems. Long Term Report - March 15, 2009
I have continued to use the Keen boots throug the winter months in our travels in the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. I have worn these boots on two other weekend hiking trips and also on a couple of day hikes without a pack. In all circumstances they have performed admirably. Final Summary
I have worn these boots for approximately 100 miles (161 km) of hiking carrying loads varying from nothing at all to packs weighing between 35 - 50 lbs. (16 - 23 kg). I have found them to be comfortable in virtually all conditions and a pair of boots that I am convinced will be among my favorites for a long time to come.

Watch the Asteroid Move!
March 21, 2007
This movie shows the asteroid moving against the background stars and galaxies over a period of 2 hours in September 2004, as seen with the ESO 8.2-m VLT array in Chile. Rapid brightness modulations can be seen as the asteroid rotates: The movie clearly illustrates how the object is streaking across the sky, but if you look closely you can actually see the asteroid's brightness modulating periodically. It's unusual to see this directly on such a movie but the stable conditions at the VLT and the power of the telescope allowed this modulation to show up quite well (Credit: A. Fitzsimmons).

- "Hello! I am C-3PO, Human-Cyborg Relations for Star Tours Spacelines, the preeminent spaceline in the galaxy!"
Star Tours, also known as Star Tours Spacelines, was an interstellar travel agency which gave tours to prominent planets and moons in the galaxy. The company already existed by the time of the Clone Wars, but was forced to file for bankruptcy in the year 4 ABY, after a series of dramatic accidents.
- "The Star Tours Getaway Package is three times the fun in one. So ask your travel consultant to book yours today!"
- ―A Star Tours commercial
The Star Tours travel agency existed as far back as the Clone Wars,[3] a pan-galactic conflict that broke out in 22 BBY.[6] At the time, the company notably organized tours to Glee Anselm,[3] a water planet with tropical climate.[7] However, the starline greatly expanded its business at some point between 1 and 0 BBY,[8] opening a new intergalactic space terminal on a space station in the Earth system, which it shared with fellow member companies of the Galactic Tourist Bureau. The agency hoped to promote unrestricted travel through the galaxy despite the Empire's oppression. Alderaanian Captain Raymus Antilles assisted in the launch of the expanded spaceline by assigning droids C-3PO and R2-D2 to help launch their new spaceport.[9] On an early voyage, prior to the ship's departure from the terminal, Imperial agents discovered the presence of a Rebel spy on board and attempted to arrest the Rebel. The vessel took off and fought its way past Imperial ships surrounding the space station, crippling an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer in the process. After being chased through hyperspace, the StarSpeeder 1000 landed and delivered the spy to safety. The flight also possessed a non-smoking policy, which according to droid G2-9T, also extended to luggage. In addition, it also had a policy against smuggling droids in the luggage, although G2-9T often turned a blind eye. Animals were also barred from entering flights, requiring that any animals found in luggage be placed in quarantine. Passengers were required to wear flight glasses during trips.[1] In addition, passengers were sometimes required during this time to bring with them Imperial authorization forms to access certain destinations, such as Bothan Space, and were also forbidden from accepting packages from unidentified individuals.[10]
At the time of the Battle of Yavin, Star Tours' space cruiser Tzarina, was involved in a tragic accident that cost most of its passengers their lives. For unknown reasons the ship's droid captain decided to change course towards Yavin to show his passengers "something neat". Once there, the yacht collided with an unidentified TIE fighter variant that was tumbling out of control through space. The collision caused the Tzarina's hyperdrive to initiate and throw the ship into hyperspace. When it fell out of hyperspace half a galaxy away it crash landed on Dathomir in the Quelii sector. Only one passenger was known to survive the crash and find his way to the Dathomir Trade Outpost, where he told others his story.[11]
Immediately following the Battle of Endor, Star Tours sought to capitalize on the Moddell sector's sudden fame by promising "convenient daily departures to the exotic moon of Endor" along the decaying Sanctuary Pipeline.[4] During this time, C-3PO and R2-D2 again briefly worked for the agency, having been placed on temporary loan by the agency while their owners in the New Republic were fighting against the Tofs during the Nagai-Tof Invasion.[12] One pilot for this flight, RX-24, failed to actually make it to the Endor moon and instead sped quickly out of the system and into a battle between the New Republic and remnants of the Galactic Empire along with the third Death Star.[2]
Several months later, after a variety of accidents and mismanagement the company was driven out of business.[4]
Star Tours's fleet was once dominated by the 40-passenger StarSpeeder 1000 piloted by AC series pilot droids, but in later years, the carrier used a next-generation fleet of StarSpeeder 3000 vehicles, such as Transport 22. These vessels were piloted by questionably competent RX-Series pilot droids and carried an astromech unit. Despite the agency's claim that the ships were highly advanced, they were often in need of repair.
Star Tours used other ships besides the StarSpeeder. The ill-fated Tzarina was a Corellian vessel similar to a CR90 corvette.

Behind the scenesEdit
Star Tours is a theme park attraction located at Tomorrowland in Disneyland, as well as at three other Disney theme parks, including the filmmaking-oriented Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.
Originally opened at Disneyland in 1987 with a single flight, the "Endor Express", Star Tours has since been re-imagined so that as many as 54 different experiences are available to passengers. Destinations now include Coruscant, Naboo, Tatooine, Hoth, Kashyyyk,Geonosis, and the first Death Star.
References to the Star Tours passenger carrier have appeared in various Expanded Universe sources, and a number of action figures based on the attraction's droids, particularly RX-24 ("Rex"), have been released.
The canonicity of the events depicted in the original Star Tours experience has been disputed for many reasons, the most obvious being the inclusion of the Death Star. Since R2-D2's presence onboard the Starspeeder 3000 precludes the events taking place during the Battle of Yavin or the Battle of Endor, the Death Star seen in the ride video has been considered by some to be the Death Star prototype, as seen in Jedi Search and Champions of the Force and its destruction to be a depiction of the prototype's destruction at The Maw. However, it does not match that prototype's skeletal construction and R2-D2 is accounted for during that event, as well. Also, the Star Tours Death Star is very close to Endor, far from the Maw's location. This may indicate it is a so far unrevealed Death Star, or that the ride's events are simply not canonical. Others have suggested that the Death Star is one of the modified habitation spheres seen under construction over Coruscant. Leland Chee has tentatively named it the Death Star III, which was later confirmed canon in the StarWars.com blog Convenient Daily Departures: The History of Star Tours. The same source also specifically placed the event in question during the events of the Nagai–Tof War to explain C-3PO and R2-D2's presence in the ride.
In the Tokyo Disneyland version of the ride, additional planets/astro locations were added in as visitable locales: Specifically, the desert world of Bar-Neth, the water world of Praya, and the Edge of the Galaxy.[14] These locations as well as the footage were in fact reused from the three endings for the defunct Epcot ride, Horizons, regarding the Mesa Verde, Sea Castle, and Space Colony Brava Centauri, respectively. The endings and scenarios from that ride dealt with the concepts of Arid-Zone Agriculture, Ocean colonization, and Space colonization, respectively.
The Star Tours travel agency has been compared to real life air travel agencies, including how they operate in loading passengers onto flights.

According to Underworld: The Yavin Vassilika, the Rebels only acquired the key to the Great Temple in 1 BBY. The attraction must therefore take place after that.

Midi Timing
I have Ableton hooked up to an Analog Four synth. On that synth I have a sound which goes through it's own internal delay. I have the Analog Four slaved to Live and I have a clip in Live with a series of notes to be played at Live's tempo.
When I press play the notes start playing but the delay takes a Bar to get up to the correct tempo. This results in a unwanted warping effect.
Here is how it sounds: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1312569/Delays.mp3
As far as I can tell everything is set up correctly and works fine in all other situations. I recreated the same set up in Logic X and the delay was perfectly in sync.
What's up Ableton?

So these supposedly "intelligent" people continue to increase the Rule, done by other supposedly "intelligent" people - the obvious goal is to extinguish our Species. - David Hussey 2012/04/15 21:50:52Just maybe, we the people can and will start making intelligent decisions at ...Maybe, but unlikely to happen. You only need look around here to see the poor chances for the Republic. Most people are stuck in a partisan groove, they see only flaws in 'the other guy' and ignore the flaws in the scumbags they support. Historically Congress's approval rating hovers around 20% yet the reelection rate for incumbents hovers around 90%. Its been like that forever and I see no signs that it is going to change anytime soon.
A very sharp man made an observation of America a long time ago and I think it captures the essence of the dynamics of democracy in the world today..
"The American Republic will endure until the Congress discovers it can bribe the people with the peoples money."

Only an independent will ever receive my vote. - Dale 2012/04/15 21:44:22It is time to kick them out, they are ruining America.+1It is time to "kick" them out, but having said that, I also say that it is "We The People" that have allowed our sitting members to sit for so long and doing so little. We should, and should have, demand something better, but there are to many people getting 'free stuff' from the members of Congress that it is hard to vote them out. Voter education might be one of the keys. If voters vote by party, color, or gender, then there is no way but down the slippery slope to full blown Socialism with a Chavez like individual at the top.

KEY ISSUES ON NEGOTIATING IPP CONTRACTS IN PAKISTAN by: Kamalul Ariffin Othman (Direct Line: +603 2118 5160) and Mohd Farizal Farhan Abd Ghafar Mr Kamalul was entrusted with managing TNB's overseas subsidiary Liberty Power Limited (LPL), an IPP in Pakistan from the year 1998 to 2001. Introduction The year 2008 saw a dreadful economic slowdown and financial crisis that wiped almost half of the value of the major indices around the world, caused major financial institutions to collapse. Despite all this, we can still see growth of population and rapid urbanization, leading to an intensive demand for utilities in Pakistan. Power shortage had been one of the chronic problems hampering Pakistan's socio-economic growth. Once upon a time, the problem had gotten so severe that power supply fell short of demand by almost 2000 MW during peak load hours. There were many forced routine interruptions in the supply of electricity during peak hours resulting in load shedding. The unreliable power supply shattered the industrial progress. It is estimated that Pakistan needs to keep increasing its power supply by an annual rate of about 10% to meet demand. As a result, the Pakistani government has been focusing on policy measures aimed at massive resource mobilization for investment in the power/energy sector. Before privatization, the huge capital requirement to fund such projects for energy was unfavorable to Government's financial balance sheet. Therefore, the Government took a bold initiative to encourage private sector investment in infrastructure development, in the power sector introducing the Independent Power Producers (IPP). Below are a few key tips on Negotiating IPP Contracts in Pakistan. ISSUE NO 1 – KNOW THE KEY PLAYERS Ministry of Water & Power National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)
When we look at the table above, it sounded like a plan that is "bullet proof". These features are designed to attract and protect investors. However, we should not take these policies for granted. Before entering into the market as an IPP, we should always ask: "What's the catch?" The following points may be useful:
ISSUE NO 3 – GUARANTEE OF RAW MATERIALS ISSUE NO 4 – CONTINUITY "I would say that this applies to the power sector more than to any other sector in the economy. This is because by default, when you are talking about power projects, they tend to have long gestation periods. Construction can also take 3 or 4 years depending on the type of fuel involved. The agreements for these projects range anywhere from 20-30 years, so when people come into the power sector, they have to see continuity in policy. They must know that whatever they are doing today, will last for at least the period of the commercial debt for example. Usually this is also for a 13-14 year period and is not the case with other projects. In other projects they often take about a year to set up and maybe in 5-6 years they are done with it. So this is why in my view, consistent policy is even more important in the power sector." ISSUE NO 5 - WATCH OUT FOR INEFFICIENCIES ISSUE NO 7 – PERCEPTION ON CORRUPTION Therefore, in reality, we have to take the issue of corruption in reality with reference to perception since contracts and licenses in certain industries including power, oil & gas can only be obtained through the exercise of power by the government of Pakistan. ISSUE NO 8 – STABILITY OF THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT Table of Facts
Due to the major concern of the Government regarding pollution in the country, it may be an excellent option to explore the use of nuclear power or other renewable sources such as wind, solar, bio-mass and fuel cells which may be cheaper and less polluting in the long run. Furthermore, hydro power contributes one third of the electricity generation in Pakistan and the fact that it currently generates "only 6,595 MW out of its identified potential of 46,000 MW" should not be neglected by every IPP who wants to profit and participate in the power sector to provide adequate supply of electricity to the Pakistani population. |

Lee Baca's Bad Month Gets Worse: L.A. Sheriff's Deputies 'Detained,' Investigated Following Off-Duty Shots Fired in Park After-Hours
Metro |
You might call this a bad month for L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca. He's a Teflon law enforcer who's been popular with the voters who repeatedly elected him.
But something says these latest allegations -- that deputies beat County Jail inmates, that they tuned-up County Jail visitors, and that Baca's department essentially looked the other way for years -- might just stick.
Great timing then, for the badge-wearers this week who were "detained" by fellow cops:
Fellow sheriff's deputies sent to La Mirada Regional Park in the 13700 block of Adelfa Drive early today (3:04 a.m.) based on reports of shots fired apparently discovered ... fellow deputies there. Off duty deputies.
Three cops were detained by fellow law enforcers in the shots fired investigation. But no arrests were made, apparently. (Now imagine if you were hanging out in a park at 3 a.m. and cops responded to a shots-fired call. You think you would just be "detained?").
Trouble seems to find off-duty L.A. deputies. Earlier this year reported about a 4 a.m. ruckus involving three off-duty coppers at an East L.A. King Taco.
The department's cover up detail Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating this latest incident.
Think we'll ever hear about this again?

Post-Preseason Wk 1; Tj or Case?

Re: Post-Preseason Wk 1; Tj or Case?
I watched the game -- it was almost surreal. The sound of 93,000
people getting very, very quiet as their multi-digit lead was whittled
I really thought Case would pull it off. It was the very last play
and all or nothing. He forced it when he was under pressure (freshman
mistake) and it was picked. That's the kind of game he learned
from in my opinion.
Very similar thing happened when Keenum almost beat Andy Dalton's
TCU team in the Houston Bowl. UH was a pretty hefty dog if I remember
Case started the game and most of his skills players were sick from
the flu. This is also a game he had to play with an interim head
coach, as Art Briles had literally just left to coach Baylor a week or
so earlier.
They lost the game on the last play, where Case threw a perfect pass
to a tight end that dropped it in the endzone. Couldn't blame the
tight end though -- he had been vomiting the entire game and needed
TCU, Bama, Ok. St., Texas Tech, UCLA #2, etc. showed me what kind
of guts the kid has when the chips are down. Never seen that
kind of stuff from Schaub or Yates..
At this point Keenum has more to prove before he sees any regular
season playing time. But I won't count him out..

It doesn't get any bigger than that.

That D eventually have too many players that were drafted or played in the NFL after going undrafted. The drafted players are as followed:
Brandon Deaderick, Josh Chapman, Rolando McClain, Rashad Johnson, Marquis Johnson, Kareem Jackson, Javier Arenas, and Ramzee Robinson.
Keenum came in with 6:35 left in the third quarter, facing a 7-23 deficit.
He almost pulled out the game, but the Cougars lost by 6 (24-30),
He had led the offense to the 3 yard line of the Tides.
With no time left on the clock, Keenum threw an INT in the end zone.
I was not at the game, so I can't tell how it happened.
It was still a heck of an effort by Keenum though.
He actually gained 10 points for the Coogs when he was in there.
Who knows what could happen had he played more.
